Is there a shortcut to update the contents of a submaster without actually having to memorize and type in the submaster's number? On the Obsession, you would do this by typing [UPDATE], then hitting the bump button of the appropriate fader. Is there any similar functionality on the Ion?

Not that I am aware of. However, if you look at your fader wing, it should list the sub number on the display above the fader (at least that way you don't have to memorize the sub number)
Hey guys. In 1.5, we are addressing the label vs sub number on the sub wings. You'll be able to see both. There's a lot of competition for content above the pots. We are continually rationalizing to try to give you the most meaningful info. Clearly, the number, label and current level ARE the most important bits!
"Clearly, the number, label and current level ARE the most important bits!"
Curious as to the rational for current level as a value on the LCD screen. One would expect that an operator using a manual fader such as a sub - in any config. - direct channel control, group of channels, cue, effect, etc... can judge relative value by observing the position of the fader. One would think that if you need more precise level data, you'd look at a monitor. Am I missing something about what the current level readout on the fader wing LCD is supposed to be showing ?.
Fair enough... but a digital readout is more accurate that visual observation from a pot setting. Additionally, since you can set sub levels from the command line or different fader pages - or different desks - it also tells you what the current level of that sub is, in the event the submaster was not set with that particular potentiometer. The standard view of the playback status display only shows 10 submasters (if you use the 1x20 wing, we do add a row at the bottom for those). . You can get a view of the sub settings by changing the format of the PSD, which gives you the settings for 100 subs (on Eos only, not available on Ion).
Additionally, since you can set sub levels from the command line or different fader pages - or different desks - it also tells you what the current level of that sub is, in the event the submaster was not set with that particular potentiometer.
...and I love that feature! Please don't change it! (Unless you incorporate motorized faders....)
On another note, the UPDATE function on Eos/Ion is smart enough to update changes back to the source cue if multiple cuelists are running; couldn't it be smart enough to update changes to an HTP or LTP submaster, if that is where the changed attribute was getting its source value from?
